i think he wants to leave, always complaining about not getting enough games but when he does get a chance more often than not he looks disinterested and isn't exactly busting a gut to prove to Rafa that he should be a regular.

It desn't matter how much you sit on the bench mate, if you're fast you're fast, if you have a hard shot you have a hard shot, if you have a decent dribble you have a decent dribble; Ryan Babel has all these thing's.

and reducing his abilities just because he is a substitute is up there with the worse of the reasons to do that

Now that i can agree with. His shots are all power and technique and not enough accuracy for me. What do you suggest for team work? Perhaps the same stat as mentality? I wouldn't go too low as he does partake in team moves every now and again.

He needs some kind of edit, and I think SA 75/74 (He is erratic and wild this year) and team work 72/74 are the ones. Too many screamers and assists with minimum effort. Other stats you can't change for reasons already given. His shot is brutally powerful and he's fast. He is selfish though, often shoots when a key pass is available (Just ask Robbie) and his mentality when the game is going away isn't the best. He slips from gear to gear in a very laboured manner.

73 74 about there ... Nani territory when it comes to team work ... both take part in team moves but they are usually at the end of the move if at all ... but if they ever get the ball don't expect to much of a team move

I hardly see any of his run over defenders on left side while he's playing for Liverpool. Somehow he's really awkward at controlling the ball. He has good power on the ball but not frequently. too high compared to Riera.

You're right Babel does use his power and pace as oppose to Riera's skill and trickery, however Babel is still a very competent dribbler.

Updated both suggestions. Do i have to do everything around here. >___>

He often loses the ball because of running into dead ends. Not really his control. He is slick.

There was only 1 agree when I started writing and then I had to rub my eyes @ Nugent scoring. Haha. So I edited accordingly.
